Daniel 12:1

12:1 “At that time Michael,

the great prince who watches over your people, ¹³

all those whose names are ¹⁶  found written in the book,

Daniel 5:21

5:21 He was driven from human society, his mind ¹⁷  was changed to that of an animal, he lived ¹⁸  with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until he came to understand that the most high God rules over human kingdoms, and he appoints over them whomever he wishes.

¹ sn The beautiful land is a cryptic reference to the land of Israel.

² tn This can be understood as “many people” (cf. NRSV) or “many countries” (cf. NASB, NIV, NLT).

³ tn Heb “be delivered from his hand.”

⁴ sn Arioch’s claim is self-serving and exaggerated. It is Daniel who came to him, and not the other way around. By claiming to have found one capable of solving the king’s dilemma, Arioch probably hoped to ingratiate himself to the king.

⁸ tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “my lord,” here a title of polite address. Cf. v. 19.

¹⁶ tn Heb “stands over the sons of your people.”

¹⁷ tn Heb “will stand up.”

¹⁸ tn Or “from the beginning of a nation.”

¹⁹ tn The words “whose names are” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.

¹⁹ tn Aram “heart.”

²⁰ tn Aram “his dwelling.”
